RCBS RN TG 124 gr 9 mm Luger

[VJERAN]

Hi team. I have RCBS mold 9 mm RN TG 124 gr. When I make bullets we have 130 grams of heavy PCs. Sizer to 0.356. I'm wondering if anyone has any reloading data for that bullet. I use powder Vihtavuori N 330. What is OAL? Thank you.

That link will get you plenty of data for your powder.

Yes, I know. But I do not have any data for that bullet.

OAL is over-all length of the cartridge, base to nose. I would use a bullet of similar weight and bearing area. By that I mean the length of the sides bearing against the barrel.

When I'm loading cast bullets, I use the info off a bullet that looks and weights the same in books or on line, If you pay attention this works on cast your not loading hot loads. I can measure my bullets length and seating dept. and compare with the one I'm getting info form.

I have a lot of old manuals and I collect lymans and most manuals, I don't have them here with me or I would look it up for you.

You don't need data for that specific boolit. Use data for something that weighs within 5 grains of yours and has a similar nose shape. Start with a reduced load and work your way up to max, paying attention to pressure signs and, if you have a chronograph, the velocity. This will get you where you want to be.
If we only loaded boolits that we had specific book data for, we would not be loading much. There are too many variations out there, most of which are similar.
